+1 Extending commons-build means you can't even jar or test without checking that out and individual releases are not fully determined by what ships with them. What we need is a reliable way to make sure that we all have current enough versions of the plugins installed so that the common site generation (and recommendations in the docs) work properly. IIUC, the only way to do that is to keep a list of required plugin versions and have people install them manually. The pluginUpdate.txt file does both of these. Since we are also at this point requiring maven 1.0.2, some of the items on that list can likely be eliminated, since I think some ship with that.
